This appeal was fully heard by the court, and on August 21, 1897, a judgment was entered as follows: "The decree of the circuit court is reversed, with costs, and the case remanded to that court, wIth directions to enter a decree for an accounting, but to deny an Injunction, on the ground that the patent expired after the appeal was taken." Subsequently, the appellant filed a petition for a rehearing under rule 29 (21 C. C. A. cxxv., 78 Fed. cxxv.), on consideration of which the court entered the followIng order: "Ordered that the petltlon for rehearing filed by the complainant be so far allowed that the cause be reargued orally as to the effect, In all respects, of the French patent, dated February 16, 1881, No. 141,170, Including its effect on the varIous claims of the patent In suit, and on Infringing machines antedating the alleged expiration of said French patent." This order, of course, vacated the judgment; but, having fully heard the. parties in accordance therewith, we are all of the opinion that the judgment was correct. Ordered, the judgment of August 21, 1897, is renewed, and a mandate In accordance therewith will issue forthwith.

Appeal from the CIrcuit Court of the United States for the District ot Massa.chusetts. Alan D. Kenyon (vVllliam Houston Kenyon, on the brien, for appellant. Louis W. Southgate, for appellee. Before COLT, Circuit Judge, and WEBB and ALDRICH, District JUdges. PER CURIAM. An examination of this case leads us to the same conclusIon as that reached by the court below (79 Fed. 787), and we do not feel called upon to add anything to the reasoning of that court in explanatIon of Its decision. The grounds of the decision are fully Ret out in a carefully drawn opinion, and sustain the result reached. The fact that the Lowell Company's artist or designer, when creating the infringing design, had before him a pattern embodying the complainant's patented design, and that his work resulted in so close an imitation, is upon the most charitable view strongly suggestive of the idea that the purpose was to appropriate the attractive features and effect of the complainant's pattern. '1'he decree of the circuit court is affirmed, with costs of this court to the appellee. MATSON et al. v. GREEN MOUNTAIN S'l'OCK-RANCHING CO. et a1. (CirCUit Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
